Hey there, miles and points enthusiasts! Welcome to another episode of Miles & Points Daily Podcast. I'm Lucas, and I've got some fascinating news to share with you today about the ever-changing world of travel rewards.

First up, some exciting news for Citi cardholders - there's currently a 25% transfer bonus when moving your ThankYou points to Wyndham Rewards, running through June 21st. This means for every 1,000 ThankYou points you transfer, you'll get 1,250 Wyndham points. It's a great opportunity if you've been eyeing a Wyndham stay.

In credit card news, Citi has made a permanent change to two popular cards. The Citi Double Cash Card and Citi Custom Cash Card will now permanently earn 5x points when booking through the Citi Travel portal. This is a significant upgrade from what was previously a limited-time offer.

For business travelers, American Express has just rolled out a new feature for business cardholders - the ability to create virtual card numbers. This adds an extra layer of security for online purchases and gives you more control over your spending limits.

We've also got some interesting developments in the airline industry. According to View from the Wing, American Airlines passengers are experiencing more delays than ever, with the average traveler losing nearly a full day per year to delays. This highlights the growing need for infrastructure improvements and capacity expansion at our airports.

Speaking of hotels, there's an interesting review out about the new Ritz-Carlton New York NoMad. This property opened in two thousand and twenty-two and is getting great feedback for its modern design and excellent dining options. If you're planning a trip to New York, it's definitely worth considering, especially if you have Marriott Bonvoy points to burn.
